Poetry: Locked out your heart

Goodbye

Bright pastels of pretty lies

Stream down the face you once touched

With soft hands.

Dark thoughts evolve...

They break their cruel cocoons taking flight

And changing to words that shatter

The heart you once loved so well.

Your little clown is crying...

His painted face is fading.

A numbing reality changes mind

And time forever.

The questions in his eyes can't find the answers in your voice.

The critic in you gives him lonely reviews.

And you chase him from the stage,

But still you cry for the play.

Actors acting up....

Songs singing themselves

And singers searching for work.

Lovers leaving love for something

A little lonelier.

And I simply disappear

From the face

Of the Earth.

    Sweet girl, I know of the yearnings,

    The hurt and the jealousy, too,

    That arrives, and harbors and lingers,

    When one you desire

    "Where No One Dares to Tread"

    I looked into his brazen eyes and ventured towards his soul;

    Hurt, beaten and scorned,

    Where there is nothing left,

    But scared heart,

    Mind and self expression.

    My heart has turned
